It appears you have the 1G iPod. Those can only go to 3.1.3. To idenify yours see:

1G iPod mean first generation iPod, the original iPod touch.

Here is the 1G iPod fro the link I gave you . Note the black plastic covrr on the back. If it is like yours it is a 1G. If yours does not have volume buttons on the upper left it is a 1G.

iPod touch

iPod touch features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos on the first-ever Wi-Fi iPod. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.

I have the same problem with my 2nd gen. the best alternative option is to go to safari, open up facebook.com, login like you would with a computer and remember to check the box "keep me logged in" from there, at the bottom of the screen is a bookmark icon(it looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it), tap it, and then tap, "add to home screen". It creates a shortcut that will go straight to facebook, essentially that is what the facebook app does except with the bookmark you are running facebook wth safari. Hope this helps.
